Gardner Bender 79-003 Wire-Aide Wire Pulling Lubricant, Greaseless Fiber-Optic Wire Insulation, 5 Gal. Pail, Yellow

I could see this potentially working well to pull cable through conduit (maybe) as I have used a similar product for that use before....however, I bought it thinking it would solve a similar problem and it didnt. I figured it would work just as well to make grippy/tacky cables such as an iPhone power cable more smooth when going over some surfaces as to not get caught. I figured since it was designed to stay on a cable and keep it smooth, it should do the trick. Well, I used it generously on my OEM iPhone cables and other similar cables (studio headphone cables, XLR microphone cables, etc) with the same problem, to no avail. The compound did not remain on the cable, and also dried and the cables returned to their original sticky/tacky state. I tried multiple coats, still the same results. If it dries and returns to a tacky state so easily, how could it last long enough to pull a larger cable through conduit? Maybe I missed something, but I guess I will have to look elsewhere for now.

This goop has just the right level of squirt-ability and makes a tough wire pull much easier. I used it with pulling 5 #12 wires into 1/2 thinwall emt and could not have made it without it. As the label says, it dries to a nearly non existent residue and clean up is very easy. I dropped it everywhere and it does not leave a mark. The bottle is easy to squeeze and I recommend this highly.

Worked great and not harmful to cable jacket.

This made pulling wire GODLY. I tried pulling wire without this for a little while but oh my god this is so much easier. The lube wipes off relatively easily.

I was able to push 12 feet of thick direct-burial Cat6 cable through a 1/2 flexible PVC conduit using this stuff, by adding a squirt every foot or so. Talcum powder also works, but it is so much messier!

Previously I used the clear gel pulling lube. If I left the gel on the wire because I couldnt pull wire immediately, the gel would dry out and become useless. In contrast, this wonderful wax pulling lube keeps working for a long time, and seems more slippery in the conduit as well. From now on, I will always use wax pulling lube and throw away the bottle of clear gel.

good product....slick...waxy ...works

Bought this item to see if it worked for lubricating cartridge cases during sizing. Works great. And, it is exponentially less expensive than same material from reloading companies.

Used in an automotive scenario. Works great for pulling wires through firewall grommets.

Thanks
